What is everyone's thoughts on this? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4637217?start=0&tstart=0

Dear Hampton, I have exactly the same problem with my MacBook Pro and it seems to be a RAM problem. I took it to the Genius Bar and sadly the truth, which the Genius bar guys were reluctant to admit, is that there are issues with the way the OS manages RAM, failing to clear Inactive memory and keep Free memory at a healthy level. If you go to the Activity Monitor and check the system memory I bet you will find that whenever you're seeing the "Exited: Killed: 9" lines one after the other as posted, you Free Memory would have been gobbled up by Inactive Memory. Extra memory would seem to be the permanent solution, sadly, and Apple charge an arm and a leg for it. Or you may have to live like I am at the moment, i.e. having the Activity Monitor permanently on the dock to keep an eye on Inactive Memory. When Inactive Memory gets too big I launch Terminal (Utilities) and type "purge." It frees up memory by clearig Inactive memory so that your machine's memory is as fresh as it is soon after you've started it. Good luck

I haven't seen these "memory status" Console messages until 2 days ago... Why happen now after all these years...?

My iMac used to handle MORE processes and apps simultaneously without any problem. My iMac was smooth and fast. Nothing changed for the past 2 days - same processes, same apps. But now there is spinning ball everywhere. And the fact that quitting apps like Console takes more than a minute is definitely not normal

Additional info: I haven't used/opened any AVID and Autodesk apps in that a year. The only intensive app I used was Chrome until I used FCP to edit 4k video 2 days ago.

Remembering how I used my iMac, I used to have around 10 desktops open (Autocad, Acrobat, Word, guitar tab apps, Reason 7, AmpKit, etc). I even played games while exporting a video. The computer handled it just fine. Exactly the same set-up as what is shown in the EtreCheck

Now the computer struggles to open basic apps like Mail...

I like testing new features of new OS'. Like I said, exactly the same set-up did not cause any slowness until 2 days ago.

Does "disk damage from disk thrashing" show up in AHT? AHT returned no fault. I also have DriveDx, but I haven't used it yet.

So it's a HDD issue, not memory leak issue? How do I check for disk damage? Like I said, AHT returned no fault. Would DriveDx detect such damage?

Interestingly, my 2009 MBP is still fine after all the excessive paging, swapping and low memory (I run same apps on my MBP), and that is just tip of the iceberg of all the abuses that MBP went through...

No failed processes.

I forgot to mention in my original post, but I did verify the disk in Recovery Mode and Safe Mode. Everything checked out OK.

And I just had an online chat with Apple support. Regarding disk damage from swapping/paging from lack of memory, I was told:

I doubt that your disk would be damaged by excessive use. It’s designed to be active more than it’s designed to be inactive. Creating a swap file is just using your hard drive space as RAM, which as far as the hard drive is concerned, is just accessing the data on the drive repeatedly.
